Add/View Product Endpoint

Overview

Endpoints are any hardware devices that can be used to measure some aspects of the real world.  It is required to associate endpoints with any product to send and receive the endpoint data.  Common types of data collected from the endpoints include temperatures, GPS coordinates, humidity, air pressure, etc.

Once endpoints are defined in the selected product line, authorized users are able to add dynamic endpoints for any product from the agent portal. Users can view endpoint information from each particular product’s endpoints list in the FlexConnect portal and can delete endpoints from Agent portal.  Once any dynamic endpoint is added for the product, users will be able to view that endpoint information from the particular product’s endpoints list.

    • Endpoint name
      • Click the Down Arrow icon to sort the endpoints list in ascending order by endpoint name
      • Click the Up Arrow icon to sort the endpoints list in descending order by endpoint name
    • MFG ID (Manufacture ID)
      • Click the Down Arrow icon to sort the endpoints list in ascending order by Manufacture ID

Step 5 – Delete Endpoint from Agent Portal

  • Select the “Ep config” tab from the agent portal
  • Insert the EP local ID in the textbox
    • Users can view the local id using two ways:
      • Agent Portal
        • Open “DB view” tab

Step 6 – Create Multiple Dynamic End Points from the Agent Portal

  • Select the “Load” tab from the agent portal
    • This allows users to create a bulk number of endpoints with the same MFGID in single click
  • Insert the following details:
    • MFGID
    • Number of Endpoints
  • Click the “Create Dynamic Endpoints” button
  • Users will be able to see multiple dynamic endpoints from the Flex portal

  Step 7 – View Dynamic Endpoints in Flex Portal

  • Select a product line from the left navigation panel
